Earth Grudge Fear* (地怨虞, Jiongu)
Ninjutsu, Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
User: Kakuzu
Interweaving one's life with the battlefront
Squirming jet black tentacles!!
Using chakra to manipulate black tentacles produced from inside the body itself, this grotesque technique allows for remote attacks. This allows Kakuzu to use a strategy without having to wait for the right oppertunity. Also, by using the tentacles to steal the hearts of other people, one takes in their respective chakra natures, allowing the use of techniques requiring any of the basic five elemental natures. This also gives the user semi-permanent longevity.
↓Tentacles with sharp pointed ends can also be used as sutures...

↑By detaching it from the main body, the arm can move about freely like a separate living creature...!!

↑By changing freely into, for instance, an elongated shape, one can turn any circumstances into their advantage. When Kakuzu is using "Earth Grudge Fear," he has no blind spots...
*The names of Kakuzu's techniques don't make much sense at first sight. This is because Kishimoto took the names from the legendary mecha anime "Mobile Suit Gundam" (機動戦士ガンダム, Kidou Senshi Gandamu), slightly altered them in some cases, and thought of kanji for them. Jiongu comes from the MSN-02 Zeong (ジオング, Jiongu), a mecha that can detach its arms for ranged attacks. The arms remains attached to the main body with wires.
